Two teams with little to play for meet at Hunter Stadium in Newcastle on Sunday, but with the pressures of playing for finals spots off them, we could be in for an exciting match.

The Dragons’ brave bid for September football ended at the hands of the Broncos last week, while the Knights have been out of contention for some time.

The match features three of the most talented brothers in the NRL, and I’m not talking Burgesses, I’m talking about Sione, Chanel and Peter Mata’utia who play against each other for the first time. Sione and Chanel have been a revelation on the flanks for the Knights, while Peter has earned a first grade spot at a club with great depth out wide.

Adam Clydesdale lines up at hooker for the Knights, with Travis Waddell coming onto the bench. For the Dragons, Kyle Stanley replaces the suspended Mitch Rein at hooker while Mike Cooper replaces the injured Ben Creagh at prop.

The Dragons will finish in 11th position regardless of results across the weekend, while the Knights could finish anywhere between 12th and 14th. The Dragons have shown promising signs over the last few weeks while the Knights were hammered 48-6 by the Broncos in round 24 before beating the Eels 42-12 in round 25.
